About to buy HAS but which one?

About to pull the trigger on a HAS. I am torn between MSS and MPerformance. Evolve likes the MSS and the dampers don't require modification. Mperf is OEM and is designed for the car.

Any final thoughts before I pull the trigger?Not a track car.

Can’t go wrong w Mperf. I have MSS and no complaints. Personally if I was to do it again I’d go Mperf bc it’s OEM , and definitely a better market to sell if needed.

+1 for MPHAS. AFAIK it’s the KWHAS kit but with OE specific spring rates. You don’t have to modify your dampers, just need to swap the bump stops. Also it’s not a full coil over and although the OE specific spring rates should reduce wear over aftermarket options, you’ll still wear your stock shocks faster as you would with any lowering spring on stock hardware

What are you looking to get out of HAS, and also stiffer or softer?

What's the use case?

I run Dinan HAS with TC camber plates and no issues so far. Not harsh on sport +, I run sport mode all the time and I don't ever go to comfort. Make sure you upgrade to CS software no matter which way you decide go.

I have a zcp with the 20inch wheels. Mostly HAS is to fix the wheel gap but I want HAS so I can pick the drop.

Ok, you pick MP-HAS if you want 1 notch softer on your settings. Pick KW if you want 1 notch harder. I took MP and am very happy...harsh ride smoothed out.

Not having to mess with the dampers is why I'm leaning towards the MSS kit myself.

THIS IS THE KIND OF COMPARISON I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.
Not yelling, excited.

Looks like my suspension budget just went up by a few hundred dollars, but a slightly softer setting option is precisely what i was hoping for.

Thanks Jimmy!

You on north side? Performance Eurowerks installation cost with corner balancing included almost made me feel bad. They have a tool to remove the piece from the shocks. Headache free. Great guys.

I'm in St Charles but yea I actually reached out to them for the Crankhub which I'm planning on this winter.

I'll end up tackling the suspension myself honestly. Not to hard with either kit. I'm just not fully decided on which route yet.
